The minuls season continues!

This time the happy news came from Budapest Zoo: the lovely Lucy and Bohus have had a kitten!

The first veterinary checkup was carried out the other day, and it turned out that the little one is male.

The zoo reports that he is healthy, developing well, and delighting the staff with his excellent appetite. With each passing day, he is becoming braver: he is coming out of their house more often and exploring the world around him with growing confidence.

Lucy and the little one are now living in an enclosure closed to visitors, but soon zoo guests will be able to meet the young manul!

The zoo also reports that a name for the kitten is expected to be chosen soon. For the first time, and since then for the last time, manul cubs were born at Budapest Zoo in 2022, and they were given names beginning with the letter “A” (the female was named Altana, and her five brothers — Aldan, Algyr, Arkas, Aysen, and Aytas). And now a name beginning with the letter “B” is planned for Lucy and Bohush’s son.

Hooray! More manuls — more joy! 😻
